"He is really torn because this is the biggest decision of his career," a "friend" of Anthony's told The Daily News. " But he wants to get it done in New York. He told me he believes in Phil (Jackson)."

The NBA's free-agency period began July 1, but players can't begin signing deals until Thursday.

Anthony has been pursued by the Lakers, Bulls, Rockets and Mavericks as a free agent. According to ESPN and multiple media outlets, the Lakers also offered him a max contract, worth around $95 million over four years, but the Bulls, considered by many to be among the teams he was seriously considering over the last couple of weeks, would have had to make a sign-and-trade to offer him something close to a max deal.

If Anthony signs with New York, the Knicks still have to make moves to upgrade their roster, but, according to Wednesday's report, Anthony was "pleased" by the addition of point guard Jose Calderon, who the Knicks received in a trade with the Mavericks.
